CHEFS WAREHOUSE AT BEAU CONSTANTIA

Foodies in the Southern Suburbs will be pleased to know that Chefs Warehouse, rated the best restaurant in Cape Town by some of city’s top chefs, is opening a second branch at Beau Constantia Wine Estate. Ivor Jones, Luke Dale-Roberts’s righthand man at The Test Kitchen, is taking the reins at the new establishment, and guests can expect the same cutting-edge cuisine and laid-back atmosphere that Liam Tomlin’s original eatery is so famous for.

Beau Constantia, Constantia Main Road

BLANKO

Located in the iconic Alphen Hotel, Blanko’s all-day atmosphere is just what the neighbourhood needs. The all-white gallery-style space – with Italian marble tables, a dramatically lit-up bar, and textured furnishings – reflects head chef Amber-May Deetlefs’ culinary philosophy: “The best food not only has to taste good, it should be something sincere and uncomplicated”.

BURGER & LOBSTER

New York-glam meets innercity-grunge at this fabulous new Bree Street bar and restaurant. The loud, dimly lit space is long and narrow, typical of those found in the Big Apple, with red uplighters at the bar, and exposed brick walls paying homage to the heritage building it’s in.

FABER AT AVONDALE

Having established world-class eateries at The Roundhouse (just 5 mins drive from la Baia) and Newton-Johnson, chef Eric Bulpitt has undertaken a new project in partnership with Avondale Estate owner Johnathan Grieve. They share a passion for careful cultivation of the land, as expressed by the phrase Terra Est Vita (Soil is Life) that is at the heart of every practice employed by the 300-year-old winery. This new venture is an extension of that philosophy, with Eric envisioning a farm and restaurant functioning as one, each element dependent on the other in a system geared entirely towards natural production. We have yet to dine here, but have it on good authority that the food is honest country fare prepared with finesse and passion, as we’d expect from Eric.

FOXCROFT

SA’s top chef Scot Kirton has opened a brand-new restaurant with his long-time pastry chef Glen Foxcroft Williams . Fans of La Colombe, where Scot heads the kitchen, needn’t fret; the San Pellegrino Chef of the Year won’t be leaving the wine estate for the time being… The vibe at Foxcroft, situated at the High Constantia Shopping Centre, is more laidback than its buttoned-up sister, but the food is equally exceptional.

HOUSE OF H

The menu is seasonal and changes daily, but there are regulars, such as various cuts of meat, burgers, and a delicious display of salads (which looked so good, I considered vegetarianism for a minute). When you’re ready to order, make your way to the pass, where H will cut your steak in front of you.

LA PARADA AT CONSTANTIA NEK

The new menu is bursting with a delicious variety of tapas and sharing plates, carefully conceived by executive chef Martin Senekal.

THE MESS

The Mess. Housed in the space formerly inhabited by Café Dijon, its owner Carlene de Gouveia has given it a fresh new look, with consultant chef Luke Wonnacott introducing an exciting new menu. In line with the de rigueur global trend of plate-sharing dining experiences, The Mess’s menu showcases an array of cuisines through its various courses, all of which are packed full of delightful flavours, work fantastically well side by side – and, most importantly, are designed to be eaten communally. The outside courtyard will be the spot on balmy summer evenings, with fairy lights strung up from the surrounding trees.

THREE WISE MONKEYS

The latest addition to Sea Point’s burgeoning Regent Road is an izakaya (informal Japanese gastropub) that’s fast becoming an after-work favourite. From Monday to Saturday evenings, it’s bursting at the seams with Atlantic Seaboard locals, popping in for a bowl of ramen after a promenade stroll, as well as work colleagues coming to let off steam after a hard day at the office.
An illustration of Kid Goku from Dragon Ball Z hangs above the open kitchen, setting the mood in the long, narrow eatery. Grab a seat at the pavement-facing counters while you enjoy a steaming bowl of noodles served in delightful rustic ceramic bowls.

OSTERIA TARANTINO

A staircase on Waterkant Street in De Waterkant leads you up to this delightful pocket-sized osteria, whose owner Enrico Tarantino is as charming and unpretentious as the delicious plates he dishes up. The daytime vibe is warm and rustic (think unsanded wooden tables, a chalkboard menu and easy-listening Italian music), which gets a makeover when the sun goes down, with white tablecloths and dim lighting.

WOLFGAT

Master forager and award-winning chef Kobus van der Merwe has named his new eatery after the nearby Wolfgat cave – an archaeological wonder containing remnants of an ancient culture, and rumoured gateway to underground passages. If you’ve ever had the salubrious fortune of eating at Oep ve Koep, Kobus’s other feted eatery in the charming west coast town of Paternoster, you will be familiar with his gastronomic style and philosophy: hyperlocal Standveld cuisine. His reverence for his ingredients and their provenance, coupled with his playfulness and skill, makes every mouthful a rare treat.
